Was the air and the water in the NI OK for you SI guys to breathe and drink VC or did you have to bring your own supply? Ha ha ha ha

Only North of the Hunua Range Munsey. Once you go South of the Bombay, Pokeno line it becomes more like pineapple lumps. Ha ha ha ha

Thanks for sharing & the pics Neckshot. A great time had by all I reckon. Hope you weren't looking for game like the one hanging on the wall in picture 1 in the local bush .---Not many caribou around Kawekas these days. Hahaha.
Good stuff.

Great trip report Neckshot, thinking of flying in for Sika myself, have only hunted them off Clements rd so far....for the grand total of zero.....haharrrrr........one day....one day

Nice story bro, thats a "flash harry" looking hut & primo looking country :cool:

Great write up, enjoyed it. Sneaky little sods, just like their namesake were in WWII.

I didn't realise you had been chasing japs around Borneo in dubya dubya two. You have held you age really well.

And there I go mistaking you for someone entirely different who has a similar forum name to you. Apologies 10-Ring

That's okay Rushy, I'm no spring chicken admittedly. Just finished reading "With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa" written by an ex Marine mortarman, Eugene Sledge. Poor bastards that survived those battles, mentally fucked for life. Their enemy had some of the attributes of our esteemed Sika including incredible bravery.

Yes, I guess it is all to easy to forget that brave and heroic acts by soldiers are not just confined to our own forces but are also to be found in the opposing forces as well. We are pretty much the same age. You are about six months older than I am.

Old bastards then! At least we learn a few tricks on the way.
